Adrian Segar, computer consultant


I have been working with computers since 1968, over a quarter of a century. My computer consulting career started in 1982 and became a full time occupation in 1993. I have never advertised my services - all my clients have come to me through word of mouth, the best and nicest way to get work.

What do I do?
I provide computer consulting support for small and medium sized businesses, schools and non-profits around New England. Although I'm a generalist, with a wide knowledge of computing issues, I have particular expertise in the following areas:
Administrative software for schools and non-profits
Academic computing in schools and colleges
Both PC and Macintosh platforms
FoxPro custom database management systems
Novell networks, installation and administration
Accounting software and issues

Other pertinent information
I work with my clients from a basis of mutual trust. I have a standing offer with all my clients - if you're not happy with my work, don't pay me. So far, I've always been paid.
I do not sell any products, so my clients can be sure that I'm not recommending a course of action because I'll make money selling it to them.
I know what I know. If I don't know the answer to a client's question, I tell them I don't know. Then I do my best to find out the answer.
I consult, advise, administer, train, install and configure hardware and software, write custom software etc. etc. I don't fix hardware, but I'll diagnose hardware problems and help get them resolved.
Finally, I try to make my clients as independent of me as possible. If a client no longer needs me, I've probably done a good job. (And that's how I get to work on new things, with new clients!)

In conclusion
You think I might be able to help you? Sorry, but it's not that easy. Since September 1994 I have been turning down all major new work. But you can always try to tempt me via E-Mail or call me at 802-254-3566.
